An American Pickle (2020 Brandon Trost)

Trost made The Disaster Artist, Simon Rich wrote for SNL. Seth Rogan is great, especially as pickled European from 100 years ago, Herschel Greenbaum, but also as his great grandson Ben. Plot is mad, obviously, but has some things to say about progress, identity, religion and family along the way, and is pretty funny, e.g. overnight success of artisan pickles, response of gay couple on the street.

With Sarah Snook. Music by Nami Melumad, based on Michael Giacchino themes, photographed by John Guleserian (About Time, Breathe In, Like Crazy), edited by Lisa Zeno Churgin (The Cider House Rules, In Her Shoes).
